BTW, I had been to many, many traditional doctors who couldn't even diagnose the cause much less provide any relief. None of the drugs they gave me helped at all.

I don't especially care to be called a fool. I was dragged to an acupuncturist by my wife. I had no doubts that it was a waste of time and money. However, I walked out of there pain free for the first time in 10 years. I don't care what skeptics think. I don't care what the mechanism is. I just know in my case it worked and am thankful for it.
